I am curious... why the two different diagrams? The "Role" diagram conveys
the same information as the "XOR" diagram. In my opinion, the "Role"
diagram is not necessarily a design-only diagram, and can be used in
analysis.
Opinions?

Subject: RE: (ROSE) XOR-Constraints
Hi,
When you're in analysis or high level design I think it's better to do what
Huseyin Angay suggest:
+---------+
| class A |
+---------+
| |
|-{XOR}-|
V V
+---------+ +---------+
| class B | | class C |
+---------+ +---------+
When in low level design (just before code generation for that particular
class)
one possible solution is to delegate the XOR management to a "role class":
+---------+
| class A |
+---------+
|
V
+---------+
| class R | class R is a "role" and is "realized" in B XOR C
+---------+
/_\
|
+---+---+
| |
+---------+ +---------+
| class B | | class C |
+---------+ +---------+
Regards,
Thomas
